The article discusses the legal concept known as the Brady doctrine, derived from the U.S. Supreme Court case Brady v. Maryland, particularly the requirement of materiality on the part of the government. It examines Rule 3.8(e) of the "D.C. Rules of Professional Conduct," examples of the Brady doctrine, and related cases such as Smith v. Cain, Connick v. Thompson, and In re Kline.
